Policy Excess

Your belongings

When You’re at Home, You look after Your belongings. When You travel it should be no different. Unfortunately, many claims We see for loss or theft are caused by people being careless with their belongings. If You do not take good care of Your belongings We may not be able to pay Your claim. Not all belongings are covered by the policy.

What does this mean?

• Keep Valuables with You (where security regulations allow You to do so) rather than checking them in with the Transport Provider.

• Do not leave Valuables in a motor vehicle at any time.

“Valuables” means articles made of or containing gold, silver or precious metals; binoculars; jewellery; mobile phones; photographic, audio, video, tablet computer, computer and electrical equipment of any kind (including computer games, portable navigation equipment or media); precious stones; smart phones; telescopes and watches.

• A maximum limit of $2,000 applies to any other items left during the day in the boot of a locked motor vehicle. Also, don’t leave items in a motor vehicle overnight as they are not covered.

• Report any loss or theft to the police within 24 hours as an original police report is required for any claim involving loss or theft; and

• Additionally, We require the relevant report from the related party For example, an Airline Property Irregularity Report (P.I.R.) is also required if Your items were lost or stolen when travelling with an airline.

Activities Included in Your Cover

Extending Your Journey

If You decide to extend Your Journey and wish to be insured for longer than the original period, You will need to purchase a new policy through Us prior to the expiry date shown on Your original Certificate of Insurance. It is a new policy, not an extension of Your previous policy.

It is important to note that should a medical condition first present itself prior to the time of issue of the new policy, it may be considered an Existing Medical Condition under the new policy and therefore may not be covered by the new policy.

Restrictions on duration may apply.

Money Back Guarantee

If You cancel this policy for any reason within the cooling off period, which is within 15 working days of the date of purchase, We will give You Your money back.

Our money back guarantee ensures a refund of the entire premium unless You have already:

• made a claim under the policy; or

• departed on Your Journey.

If You wish to cancel Your policy and receive a full refund, please contact Us within the cooling off period.
